Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 6

Swoosh!

The arrow shot out, hitting the right eye of the Forest Wolf precisely.

At this moment, Han Xing’s sky island was less than 3m away from the Forest Wolf’s sky island, with a gap in between.

The Forest Wolf, having its eye severely injured, howled in pain and then abruptly stopped, nearly falling from the sky.

In the early stages of the game, Hunters have no skills, and must not let enemies get close during combat.

Han Xing quickly maneuvered his sky island territory to retreat backwards, increasing the distance.

A system prompt appeared.

“Attention: The alert range of a 1-Star Creature is 10m. If exceeded, the creature will disengage from combat, and the sky island will revert to an unexplored state.”

An unexplored state is like the outside world covered by clouds, before entering, all attacks from the outside world cannot affect the inside of the sky island.

“10m, huh? More than enough!” Han Xing controlled the territory, quickly retreating.

“Phew…”

He exhaled lightly, and an arrow magically appeared in his hand. Han Xing drew his bow and shot again!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three consecutive arrows, two hit the target, one missed into the air.

The Forest Wolf kept howling in pain, but it was trapped in a 2 m³ block, unable to advance or retreat.

In this situation, it was clear that the Forest Wolf was being kited by Han Xing.

This is also a common tactic for Hunters.

Han Xing continued to shoot arrows.

Four more arrows were shot, two hit the target, two missed.

Considering the hit rate, Han Xing was quite satisfied.

You should know, he was now 9m away from the Forest Wolf. To ensure safety while maintaining such high accuracy was already impressive.

After choosing the Hunter class, the system’s initial skill ‘Basic Archery’ gave him an innate familiarity with the bow and arrow.

As his level increased later, along with dexterity, his hit rate would continue to improve.

At this moment, the Forest Wolf had five arrows sticking out of it, looking miserable, but it still hadn’t fallen.

The creatures on the sky island have strong vitality. Previously, a slime was also defeated by Han Xing due to good luck, triggering the ‘Penetration’ effect on the third shot.

However, after Han Xing shot two more arrows, the Forest Wolf finally whimpered and fell.

[Successfully killed Forest Wolf Lv1, gained +10 XP.]

Seeing the prompt, Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He maneuvered his sky island to the side of the Forest Wolf’s corpse.

[Do you want to dissect the Forest Wolf’s corpse?]

“Yes.”

[Successfully dissected ‘Forest Wolf’s corpse’, recovered Sharpened Arrow x7, obtained 1-Star Beast Skin x1, obtained Wolf Meat 37kg, obtained Beast Bones 102 pieces.]

The Forest Wolf’s corpse disappeared, leaving behind a piece of beast skin, a large pile of fresh red wolf meat, and a small mountain of white bones.

“So much wolf meat!” Han Xing exclaimed.

37kg of wolf meat, enough for an adult to eat for many days. If saved, it could last for half a month!

Killing a Forest Wolf directly solved Han Xing’s food crisis.

Even if he couldn’t finish it, he could trade it with other players.

Currently, in the entire channel 107, probably only Han Xing had the strength to solo a 1-Star Wild Beast. Meat, as a food resource, was definitely scarce and highly sought after!

After collecting all the spoils into his bag, Han Xing then merged these two territories with his own.

His sky island’s area expanded again, becoming a 5 m³ convex shape.

Now, even if he lay down directly, he wouldn’t have to worry about falling off.

Just then, someone in the local chat channel suddenly sent him a private message.

Heavenly Phoenix Bird: “Pro, I saw the arrows you consigned on the trading platform, you are a Hunter class, right?”

“Yes.” Han Xing replied.

Heavenly Phoenix Bird: “Pro, I have something here that might interest you.”

“Send it over.”

Han Xing didn’t like to beat around the bush, and the other party directly threw out the item information.

[Refined Iron Arrow Blueprint (Green)]

Green equipment, and it’s a blueprint for arrows!

Han Xing’s pupils shrank, and a desire for this blueprint surged in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed his excitement and calmly said: “I can take it, what’s your price?”

The one called Heavenly Phoenix Bird, relieved, had seen Han Xing’s consignment information on the Trading Channel and guessed his class.

Heavenly Phoenix Bird straightforwardly said: “I want water, no less than 2 units!”

Hearing his condition, Han Xing’s mind stirred, but he still kept his composure: “2000ml of water, do you know how precious water resources are now?”

Heavenly Phoenix Bird: “I know, but this is a green equipment blueprint! Although I don’t understand this world much yet, I know that such items become more valuable later on, and even 20,000ml of water won’t be enough to exchange for it later.”

Han Xing sneered, “You said it yourself, it becomes more expensive later on, but right now what everyone lacks most are survival resources. I don’t have water, but I do have some food, if you really want to trade, just name a price I can accept.”

After Han Xing finished speaking, the survivor called ‘Heavenly Phoenix Bird’ knew his asking price was a bit outrageous, so he made some concessions: “Food is also okay, but it can’t be less than 10 units.”

Han Xing continued to sneer: “At most 5 units, 5kg of food, enough to last you two or three days.”

Heavenly Phoenix Bird hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, 5kg it is!”

The transaction was quickly completed.

Although 5kg of food is a lot, no matter how you calculate it, Han Xing still made a profit.

[Successfully obtained ‘Fine Iron Arrow Blueprint’, do you want to learn it?]

Han Xing immediately clicked to learn.

The next moment, a green equipment blueprint appeared in the blueprint column.

[Refined Iron Arrow (Green)]

[Materials required for crafting: Refined Iron x2, Feathers x1.]

Han Xing pondered for a moment, “Refined iron, this material, can only be obtained from some treasure chests in the early stages of the game, I wonder if it’s available now on the Trading Channel.”

He entered the Trading Channel, then typed in the keyword ‘Refined Iron’, and quickly filtered out 7 consignments.

The trading requirements of these people were all water and food, Han Xing clicked to chat privately, bargaining one by one.

Eventually, he exchanged 3kg of wolf meat and 4 berries for 12 pieces of refined iron.

The materials for making arrows were gathered, now only feathers were needed.

Han Xing asked in the group chat, “Guys, lend me some feathers (毛), I’m making something.”

“Hair (毛)? Brother Xing, I’ll give you some!” Cheng Jianyong said in the group chat.

“Let’s trade.”

After the trade was completed, a system prompt came.

[Successfully obtained a certain homo sapiens body hair x23.]

Han Xing looked at the few black hairs in his palm, and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

“Cheng Jianyong, are you sick? Who the hell asked for your leg hair?”

“Damn! Didn’t you ask for hair? You didn’t specify.” Cheng Jianyong retorted indignantly.

Han Xing threw out the few leg hairs, “I specifically wanted bird feathers, the FEATHERS from BIRDS!”

To prevent further misunderstanding from Cheng Jianyong, Han Xing emphasized the last sentence.

Seeing their chat, Shen Yun couldn’t help but chuckle, “Brother Xing, I just explored the clouds and found a huge bird nest, but there were no creatures inside, I found a few feathers, just right for you.”

“Alright.”

After the two completed the trade, Han Xing’s bag had 9 gray-white feathers.

[Toucan’s Feather (Common Material)]

With all materials gathered, he opened the blueprint and began crafting.

A white light flashed repeatedly.

[Successfully crafted Refined Iron Arrow (Green) x6.]
